---------------------------------------

If these are trivial bugs that need not be fixed, leave it open. Let someone else pick it up.

> As a non-superuser, when you create and delete a snapshot but accidentally specify a non-existent directory to snapshot, you will see an extra/unnecessary permission denied error right after the "No such file or directory" error.
> {code}
> [schu@hdfs-snapshots-vanilla ~]$ hdfs dfs -deleteSnapshot /user/schuf/ snap1
> deleteSnapshot: `/user/schuf/': No such file or directory
> deleteSnapshot: Permission denied
> [schu@hdfs-snapshots-vanilla ~]$ hdfs dfs -createSnapshot /user/schuf/ snap1
> createSnapshot: `/user/schuf/': No such file or directory
> createSnapshot: Permission denied
> {code}
> As the HDFS superuser, instead of the "Permission denied" error you'll get an extra "Directory does not exist" error.
> {code}
> [root@hdfs-snapshots-vanilla ~]# hdfs dfs -deleteSnapshot /user/schuf/ snap1
> deleteSnapshot: `/user/schuf/': No such file or directory
> deleteSnapshot: Directory does not exist: /user/schuf
> {code}
